Evolution unit quiz STUDY GUIDE Date of quizzz: _________ Points: ______ name ___________________________ per __ date______ My goal is to earn _____ % My specific study strategies are: Vocabulary terms to know REALLY WELL (flash card material!) Biological evolution Sexual selection Natural selection Scientific fact Scientific theory 5 Mechanisms of evolution Gene flow Genetic drift Mutation population Fossil Fossil record Evolutionary fitness Analogous structure Amino acid sequence embryology Vestigial structure biogeography Homologous structure DNA sequence Overproduction Environmental pressure Ancestral structure Common ancestor Derived characteristic Genetic variation Allele frequency 5 requirements for natural selection to happen species Speciation Phylogenetic tree (cladogram) Adaptation 4 Lines of evidence for evolution Questions to be able to answer in your own words using scientific vocabulary: 1. Define biological evolution and give a specific example to support your definition. 2. Explain the difference between a scientific theory and a scientific fact. 3. Explain how the process of natural selection can cause a population to change over time, including the 5 specific requirements. 4. Describe all 5 mechanisms that cause allele frequencies to change in populations over time. 5. Explain how speciation can happen and what it means to be distinct species. 6. Discuss all the lines of evidence that exist for evolution of life over time, give specific examples of each and chose the category that is most convincing to you and explain why.
